haha, thx for that Don,
That's how I had it in my head, the 500 is the continous I should have it set to. But other people telling me differently and tell me that they are putting between 800-1000 into these speakers, thats why I was confused. But, I trust you, so I'll only put 500 to the speakers (as I originally had planned to). And saying that, my amp is between 1.5 to 2.0 times the continous output.
Well, I appreciate the information and clearing it up for me. I'll need to get a new soundcard + balanced cables and I should get a lot better quality sound and higher voltage coming through because at the moment I seem to only get around ~40ACV at the most from my amp after I shortened my RCA leads
before I was getting about ~23ACV, so I'm hoping the new soundcard and balanced leads will make a difference in the voltage, if not atleast better sound quality.
